jenna: ultimately do you think the nsa remains a place where the data is held? >> i think it should remain the place where the data is held. if the data is moved into private hands, it is less secure and still there and ironically could be conceivably accessed more easily by the russians and chinese than by the nsa because they're creating an obstacle to the nsa getting into the data by requiring that they go to court first. hackers don't have to go to court first. jenna: over the years you've seen courts and obviously laws change with technology. what is your biggest concern seeing what we're able to do threw technology and seeing perhaps the way the laws are catching up or in some cases maybe not? >> my biggest fear people will start to meddle with the intelligence system that is keeping us safe. in order to meet fears and anticipations that have not happened and are not likely to happen. the people who are administering this are afraid of only, the nsa people, are afraid of only one thing, and that is another attack. that is what they devote their attention t
